Carter’s Review

"This six-story, red-brick apartment enclave at 50 East 8th Street between Greene and Mercer Streets on the south side of Eighth Street has lushly landscaped, four-step-up entrances.

The building s entrances are in its recessed lightcourts that also contain the building's fire-escapes."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "value-packed" post-war gem offers "surprisingly spacious" apartments at "budget-friendly prices" in the "heart of NYU territory." While sporting "classic pre-war touches," modern conveniences include "in-building laundry" and an "on-site super." The "moderate board" maintains "reasonable policies," making it particularly "accessible to parent-backed student buyers." Note: land-lease status affects financing but keeps prices "attractively low."

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
